Among my personal favorites! As well as some way to find out what they  
are. When I showed my group the Control-F search in the history/log  
viewer, they thought it was great, but also asked: "How did you know  
about that? How do we find out what those magic keys are?" And all I  
could say was: "Well, it is < 1.0". :)


> ** Win64 support in the shell extensions

I'm supposed to be getting a 64-bit Vista 2nd boot drive so I might be  
able to help with testing on this. I have to admit, I wish I could  
think of a way to automate Windows testing, as I tend to have a very  
stylized usage pattern of THg and don't feel that even a one-week RC  
eval-time is enough (for me) to get to all the corners of the  
interface in my usual work flow...

Interesting, but I thought Qt had been deprecated for THg?

I have to say that the recent round of GTK bugs has left me a bit  
depressed, but all the major toolkits have bugs and it is probably  
more a matter of familiarity (a quick google of "qt vs gtk" found a  
lot of many-years-old rantings but no clear winner as I would have  
expected). Some folks use wxWidgets at work, but I am not very  
familiar with it.

All by way of asking what a potential project merging might be like  
given the different toolkits involved...
